Dear all,
Need assistance on this one. Life has been miserable with PDF not working properly.
On 13 April 2020 i was adding some signatures on a few documents when suddenly my laptop jammed and since then onwards it wasn't working well. I can still view files with PDF reader but i am unable to add my signatures anymore 😞 every single time i add the signature and click save, its always missing! 😞 i tried to uninstall and reinstall but unsuccessful! 😞 this is the first time i am experiencing this, please help me...

Hi IRKA SUKARSI,
We're sorry for the trouble you had with the Adobe application. Would you mind sharing more details about the issue so that we can assist you in a better way?
Are you using to sign the PDF file using the freeware Adobe Reader application or the Acrobat? I assume you are on the latest version of the application 20.006.20042 Planned update, March 17, 2020
If not, please check for any pending updates from the help menu of the application > select check for updates. Reboot the machine and check.
You may also try the following solutions and let us know if that helps:
Solution 1:
Note: It's recommended to take a backup of the Windows registry before making any changes to it. To know more about taking a back, see the help article here.
Solution 2:
Please let us know how it goes and share your observations.
Thanks,
Anand Sri.

Found this post because I have the same problem, but intermittently. (which is even more annoying!) I'll pass on your advice to our local support team … one question, though: given that I can't start Acrobat DC at all, I can't check which version I'm (not) running or open Help within the app to check for updates.
